Used in almost every cuisine across the world, spinach is an enormously popular green vegetable…

Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan, then fry the onion for 5-6 mins until softened. Add the chicken pieces, fry for a further couple of mins just to colour the outside, then stir in curry paste and rice. Cook for another min.

Pour in the chicken stock and throw in any larger bits of frozen veg. Bring to the boil, lower the heat, then cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 10 mins, then stir in the remaining veg. Scatter over the spinach, cover, then cook for 10 mins more until all the stock is absorbed and the rice is tender. Give everything a good stir, season to taste, then tuck in.

Truly an awesome dish that can be enjoyed on caravans. Totally-hassle free preparation and yet truly satisfying to the taste buds. Surely going to share this recipe to caravanners around.
Hoping to see more recipes like this one.

Loved this! Quick and easy. Made it with madras paste and I used fresh veg - broccoli, red pepper, peas, courgette plus the frozen spinach. Didn't have fresh coriander so added dried with the stock. Took a tip from someone else's comment to add lemon juice at the end which really perked it up.
It serves far more than one person, this was enough for two plus leftovers.

I cooked this today for the wife and I. The fact it's Loaded with vegetables, Chicken and Rice makes it a very filling dish. It was easy to make, tasty and makes enough for two days worth of meals - well, it will did for us.

Loved this. Quick and easy recipe for when I get home from work late. Made more than a portion for one but definitely not going to complain about that!

This worked out great and we loved it. I upped the stock, vegies and rice so it would feed the three of us. Certainly a keeper
Many thanks

We really enjoyed this recipe. I used fresh veg rather than frozen but will consider frozen next time for a cheaper option. I will cook again, healthy, low fat, easy, packed with veg - what is not to like ! I did add some coriander to serve and made a dip of sour cream, coriander and lemon and I think that jazzed it up.
I didn't have issues with sticking, I cooked in a non stick frying pan with a lid.
Just off to have some leftovers for my lunch !

Absolutely one of my favourite recipes ever! Ridiculously easy and quick to make even if I'm home late on a weeknight. Can't wait to cook it at a dinner party too. Love how flexible it is cooking for one person or ten people. I use frozen peas, frozen spinach, and Ocado frozen roasted med veg. Amazing!

Did not enjoy this at all. As mentioned by others the rice stuck to the bottom of the casserole dish. Tasted awful. Made loads and it's all going in the bin. Would be better off with a ready made curry from M&S.

Brilliant recipe, so simple but tasty. Recommended for when you need to feed a crowd too. I cook whole chicken thighs in the oven and then take the meat off the bone; much easier than de-boning, and then use the meat as directed.

really loved it , very nice very easy,next time i might try some fresh chillies in there

Very good recipe. To avoid the rice sticking, turn the heat OFF after 10mins cooking the rice and allowed it to sit for 20 minutes. The rest of the liquid will still absorb but should not stick to the pan.
